My experience with Alaska and specifically Alaskan DIY fishing and hunting trips have been awesome! The only regret I’ve had is that I’ve had to leave that magnificent state. I regretted leaving every single time and eventually, after having investigated around 20 “cities”, towns and villages between my wife and I we decided to buy property in Southeast in the hopes that someday we won’t have to leave.
You won’t regret going. The sooner you get your first Alaskan DIY hunting/fishing adventure under your belt the faster you can get back up there and the more adventures you’ll be able to look back on. 👍
